Road trip!!

4th of July

we headed up highway 20 this past weekend to do some hiking and exploring. generally speaking, the views were excellent and the trails appeared to be top notch. a gimpy zeus and some high temperatures prevented us from going too far but we did manage a little hike and i did see some rocks that looked like they were worth coming back for.
